I. Interdisciplinary Kolloquium
The interdisciplinary colloquium is designed as a block event. Students, who wish to give a lecture, can sign up via the online registration form. All mandatory credits necessary to obtain the Marsilius Certificate must have been gained beforehand (see Article 5 of the statute). The event dates are set in coordination with the participants.

INNOVATION FOR FUTURE? – POTENTIAL AND PITFALLS OF THE CIRCULAR BIOECONOMY To make significant advances towards reaching the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the Paris Agreement, we need game changing social, political, economic, and technological innovation. Policymakers, businesses, civil society representatives and citizens alike put great hopes in the circular bioeconomy, which creates value without waste, inspired by and in connection with nature. Therefore, the goal of this seminar is to shed light on the opportunities and challenges of the circular bioeconomy by an introduction to general concepts and principles, such as sustainable development, the circular and regenerative economy, as well as the bioeconomy. Afterwards, we will discuss political, societal, and economic framework conditions and influencing factors on influencing innovation in the field and will subsequently turn our theories and concepts into action by going through a joint innovation management process and developing feasible solutions, which will lead to short pitches in the end. |

DIE NACHHALTIGE STADT DER ZUKUNFT – IN FIKTION, GESETZ UND PLANUNG Städten, die als "Anthrome" wichtige Einflusssphären darstellen, kommt angesichts der Umweltkrise eine besondere Bedeutung zu. SDG 11 (Nachhaltige Städte und Gemeinschaften) formuliert die Aufgabe, „Städte und menschliche Siedlungen inklusiv, sicher, widerstandsfähig und nachhaltig [zu] gestalten“ und steht daher im Fokus des geplanten interdisziplinären Marsilius-Seminars. An der Schnittstelle zwischen Stadtgeographie, Rechts- und Literaturwissenschaft werden im Seminar Fragen nach Mobilität und Verkehr, Klima und Umwelt, Wohnraum und öffentlichem Raum, Gesundheit und Armut, Gleichheit und Gerechtigkeit diskutiert. Einen Schwerpunkt bilden dabei die Planung und Dynamik des städtischen Wandels, ebenso wie Fragen nach Gestaltungsmöglichkeiten und -grenzen aus juristischer Perspektive. Literarische Formen dienen darüber hinaus als Möglichkeit, den Stadtraum in seiner Vielfalt menschlicher und nicht-menschlicher Akteure, sozialer und natürlicher Umgebungen, in Vitalität und Widerstandsfähigkeit neu zu denken. Um einen intensiven interdisziplinären Dialog zu fördern, arbeiten die Studierenden der Universität Heidelberg und Eichstätt fächerübergreifend zu den genannten Teilaspekten anhand von ausgewählten fiktionalen und faktualen Texten, Gesetzestexten und Daten(sätzen). Ferner ist eine Exkursion vor Ort geplant, die nicht nur Einblicke in die nachhaltige Stadtgestaltung und -entwicklung geben, sondern auch zur Diskussion über zukunftsweisende Verbesserungen anregen soll. |

TRANSPARENCY AS A PRINCIPLE OF DATA PROTECTION: AN UNREALISTIC DEMAND OR A PRACTICABLE CONDITION? Transparency is one of the fundamental principles of data protection law and an essential prerequisite for ensuring the FAIR principles (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Re-usable) in scientific and medical data processing. In data protection law, transparency is intended to ensure that data subjects can exercise their rights and that the data protection authority can exercise its function as a supervisory authority. In addition to legal requirements, there are ethical, political, medical, and technical interpretations of transparency and corresponding requirements for data processors. From all these perspectives, transparency is closely related to explainability and thus to the concept of trust as a motive and consequence of transparency. With new technologies and barriers to transparency, the question arises in the context of the European Health Data Space legislation, a federated infrastructure for health data in the EU for medical and research purposes: how can trust be enhanced through transparency, especially in secondary data processing that goes beyond the originally intended processing context? What role does transparency play in the acceptance of new technologies such as AI in the medical context? How are transparency and trust related in specific contexts, and how do they influence each other, for example, with respect to data altruism or commercial data processing? However, when answering these questions, it is always important to keep in mind that the more complex data processing becomes and the more sensitive the processed data is, as in the biomedical context, the more difficult it becomes to establish transparency over the entire lifecycle of the data. At the same time, transparency and information are important for data subjects to remain able to act and exercise control in the face of increasing diversification and complexity of data processors and data governance. Therefore, we want to shed light on transparency from different perspectives in interdisciplinary tandems to answer the question whether transparency is an unrealistic requirement of data protection law or a feasible condition for the biomedical context.
